GONG SURF 6’11 PIE BEKET PU

Introduction

A unique crafted board, Made In France, with an exceptional finish.

This faux fish is partially hollowed out, in a form of a fish but keeps a thin layer of foam.This type of tail gives as much character as one can have on a board with dimensions that come with this generous shape. It doubles the power and lift of the back foot augmenting the performance in mushy conditions. Incredibley fast due to the finnesse of its points, bouyant due to its width and coupled with an impressive incredibley maneuverable V. Literally the defention of Missile.

The outline is Traditional, pure and without exageration. The generous volume is exactly what it needs to be be in order to not hinder quick maneuvering.

The Take-Offs are as premature as they come, the glide immediate and the speed mindblowingly flagrant. It’s a molotov Cocktail of pure fun but does not demand the highest skill level for its qualities to be exploited correctly.

In addition to this natural speed, this custom shape keep the incredible Rail to Rail capacity of the “original” Pie. With the Deep Fish Tail that liberates the excess pressure and guides the board you have at your disposal a lift that favors tight turns. The Twin Fin mounting procures you efficient hold that does not interfere with maneuverability so you can switch Rail to rail in full speed without hesitation!
